Seeing Verstappen's steering wheel, it does look like business as usual. Very smooth. A stark contrast to the diabolical oversteer and steering corrections in Singapore.

Humid day and dry track. Expecting RBR engine to explode any moment now.

Timing and scoring shows the Mercs on the "T" tire, but they are clearly on the mediums?

they just pitted and came back out, so probably already went out on prototypes and now onto meds ?

This track will have Perez, Sargeant, Stroll exposed relative to their teammates. It is a very demanding track to extract the maximum from the car, especially for drivers lacking in confidence

Yes it has corrected itself, eventually.

I was onboard with Perez. The car isn't doing anything too bad with him, he's just driving conservatively. He learned his lesson in Hungary. Most likely just doing a balance check for this session.
